This is mrs non-fixie's preferred set-up these days. Somewhat upright with her hands on the "grips" and more stretched out with her hands near the brake levers (which is why I tape the bars, instead of using grips), as well as the ability to quickly access the brake levers from these positions. She prefers racing levers in the position pictured above to the traditional "ville" levers. She tested the DeVos above and this Méral back to back last week, and was very clear about it.
